Turkish defense firm FNSS and Türkiye’s Defense Industry Agency (SSB) signed the contract for the “Next-Generation Vehicle Project” at a ceremony Monday, according to a statement by the firm.
FNSS will deliver the PARS ALPHA 8×8 Anti-Armor Squad and Armored Recovery variants in the first phase of the contract and the PARS ALPHA 6×6 command post variants with four different mission equipment.
The PARS ALPHA was developed with FNSS’ 35 years of experience and achievements as the fifth generation vehicle in the PARS family of products.
The vehicle offers advanced mobility “through all terrain and any weather conditions (with) its innovative all-wheel-drive, ride-height control and all-axle steering system.”
Its high carrying capacity enables the vehicle to be easily integrated with different systems and the 8×8 configuration is suitable for modern military logistics.
